OTYPE=R : lelimansrcompleet.txt : 00232 | Leliman won the competition held in 1848 by the Maatschappij tot Bevordering der Bouwkunst (Society for the Advancement of Architecture) for the facade of a shophouse for the manufacuturer's trade. Leliman had best fulfilled the intention of the program and "although not entirely flawless," the design was awarded the third prize. The jury included D.D. Büchler, I.S. Warnsinck, W.N. Rose, B. de Greef Jz., and A.N. Godefroy. His design with the motto 'je matiendrai' was judged the best of four entries, with well harmonizing windows and dams, but they advise him for inspiration 'Roman and Florentine palaces, which, without wishing to see them declared a model for a store, will show him how by a good disposition and simple details, and not by a multitude of dissimilar ornaments, the good purpose is achieved, [to give a dignified and grand character to the facade]'. Along with the other designs submitted, it was on display in the building of the Royal Academy of Art in Amsterdam.
